President Normen Cords presided and Wm. Chatham, Jr., was in charge of the program.

Lewis Godard acted as Santa Claus and did a very efficient job.

The lucky (and generous) bidders for the packages were: Albert A. Kelley, Henry I\f. Hink, Lieut. Albert M. Schafer, Jr., Larue Woodson and W. J. (Nick) Nicholson.

Steve Sheppard, a nqagician, was the star of the entertainment program. He got applause for his work that was well deserved.
